Input parameters
The input parameters for the utility are:
- -p <tcpipname>
- Specifies the TCP/IP which is to create or delete a DVIPA.
- -c <IPaddress>
- Specifies that the IP address is to be created.
- -a <IPaddress>
- Specifies that the IP address is to be created with affinity. A connection request for a DVIPA that is created with affinity is sent to a TCP Listener if the application instance that created the DVIPA issues the bind() call. If no matching listener is found, a TCP Listener is selected by using normal shareport load balancing.
- -d <IPaddress>
- Specifies that the IP address is to be deleted.
Notes:
- The input parameters -p, -c, -a, and -d must be entered in lowercase.
- <tcpipname> must be entered in uppercase.
- For IPv4 addresses, <IPaddress> is dotted decimal notation. For IPv6 addresses, <IPaddress> is standard colon-hexadecimal notation for specifying IPv6 addresses.
- To create a DVIPA, the specified IP address must be within a subnet that is previously specified by a VIPARANGE configuration statement in the PROFILE.TCPIP data set for the specified TCP/IP.
